Mingulay Boat Song Lyrics
Mingulay Boat Song - Richard Thompson
Composed by：Traditional
Heel ya ho boys let her go boys
Heave her head round to the weather
Heel ya ho boys let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
What care we though white the Minch is
What care we boys the wind and weather
When we know that every inch is
Closer homeward to Mingulay
Heel ya ho boys let her go boys
Heave her head round to the weather
Heel ya ho boys let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
Wives are waiting by the pierhead
Gazing seaward from the heather
Heave ahead round and we'll anchor
Ere the sun sets on Mingulay
Heel ya ho boys let her go boys
Heave her head round to the weather
Heel ya ho boys let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
